ELMCIP involved seven European academic research partners and one non-academic partner who investigated how creative communities of practitioners form within a transnational and transcultural context in a globalized and distributed communication environment. Focusing on the electronic liter- ature community in Europe as a model of networked creativ- ity and innovation in practice, ELMCIP intended both to study the formation and interactions of that community and also to further electronic literature research and practice in Europe. The ELMCIP project’s stated objectives were to: • Understand how creative communities form and interact through distributed media • Document and evaluate various models and forces of creative com- munities in the field of electronic literature • Examine how electronic literature communities benefit from current educational models and develop pedagogical tools • Study how electronic literature manifests in conventional cultural contexts and evaluate the effects of distributing and exhibiting e-lit in such contexts. 1 ELMCIP REPORT PROJECT THEMES AND OUTCOMES Within this broader frame, the themes ELMCIP investigated included: the forma- tion of creative and scholarly communities of practice around different factors such as language, region, genre, platform, events, and institutions; different publishing models for electronic literature and the history of electronic literature publishing in Europe; pedagogical models for teaching, researching and institu- tionalizing electronic literature in different disciplinary contexts and institutional environments; the connections between electronic literature and other modali- ties of digital arts practice; the applicability of traditional and contemporary literary theory and models of poetics to electronic literature; electronic literature as a performance practice; and models of curating, publishing, and exhibiting electronic literature in diverse contexts including books, online publications, live performance, and gallery exhibitions. ELMCIP project outcomes included: Case studies, reports, and research papers. Scholarly outputs included spe- cial issues of journals: Dichtung Digital, Performance Research Journal, Prim- erjalna književnost; and books: Remediating the Social, and Electronic Lit- erature as a Model of Creativity and Innovation in Practice, and dozens of peer-reviewed ar- ticles in scholarly journals. Ma- jor reports, such as an extensive report on electronic literature publishing venues, an ethno- graphic study of network art communities, and a technical white paper detailing the pro- duction of a digital humanities research platform, are also sig- nificant outputs of the project. Series of public seminars and workshops. The ELMCIP project orga- nized seven different international conferences addressing specific research themes including Electronic Literature Communities (Bergen), Electronic Literature Publishing (Jyväskylä), Electronic Literature Pedagogy (Karl- 2 CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION IN PRACTICE skrona), E-Literature and New Media Art (Ljubljana), Databases and Bib- liographic Standards for Electronic Literature (Bergen), Digital Poetics and the Present (Amsterdam), and Digital Textuality with/in Performance (Bristol). A major international conference including performances and an exhibi- tion. The Remediating the Social conference and exhibition including pan- els and public exhibition of peer-review commissioned electronic literature, artworks, and performances at Edinburgh College of Art and New Media, Scotland. The event was thoroughly documented with a book / exhibition catalog, full video and photographic documentation, and a documentary. The Electronic Literature Knowledge Base. An extensive open-access cross-referenced bibliographic and documentation research platform for the field of electronic literature, the ELMCIP Electronic Literature Knowl- edge Base: http://elmcip.net/knowledgebase now includes more than 9,000 records documenting authors, works, critical writing, events, publishers, or- ganizations, archives, and teaching resources. After three years of develop- ment it is now the leading online research resource in the international field. The ELMCIP Anthology of European Electronic Literature. With the ELM- CIP Anthology of European Electronic Literature: http://anthology.elmcip.net the project published eighteen works of European electronic literature in ten differ- ent European languages on USB drives (for archiving and Creative Commons- licensed sharing) and on an accessible website, including pedagogical materials. Video documentaries.

  • Diffusion, Analysis and Discussion of Electronic Literature in Italy (DADELI) GRUPPO GIADA Independent Scholars
    Diffusion, Analysis and Discussion of Electronic Literature in Italy (DADELI) GRUPPO GIADA Independent Scholars Abstract The present paper introduces a new project whose aim is to disseminate, analyse and discuss electronic literature in Italy. In the first section a general overview of the state of art of Italian electronic literature is given. We show that efforts both within aca- demic research institutions and the publishing industry are hindered by a lack of interest and a misconception about what electronic literature is, particularly in Italy. The second section discusses two twin projects designed by Gruppo Giada, an inde- pendent research group founded in 2014: the first one is an Anthology of the History of Electronic Literature (1945-2015) (section 2.1), and the second one is an online platform (section 2.2). Finally, the conclusion underlines the goals of Gruppo Giada’s projects, given the current global landscape of the field of electronic literature. Keywords: Italian literary anthology; electronic literature; history of new media writing. Resumo Este artigo apresenta um novo projeto, cujo objetivo é divulgar e analisar a literatura eletrónica em Itália. A primeira secção contém uma visão geral do estado da arte da literatura eletrónica italiana. Mostramos que os esforços, quer das instituições de investigação académica, quer da indústria editorial têm sido prejudicados pela falta de interesse e por um equívoco sobre o que é a literatura eletrónica, particularmente em Itália. A segunda secção aborda dois projetos gémeos concebidos pelo Gruppo Giada, um grupo de pesquisa independente fundado em 2014: o primeiro é uma Antologia da História da Literatura Eletrónica (1945-2015) (secção 2.1), e o segundo é uma plataforma em linha (secção 2.2).

  • La Parola Intermediale: Un Itinerario Pugliese (Cavallino 25, 26 Maggio 2017)
    La parola intermediale: un itinerario pugliese (Cavallino 25, 26 Maggio 2017) a cura di Francesco Aprile e Cristiano Caggiula 2017 CITTÀ DI CAVALLINO BIBLIOTECA COMUNALE “G. RIZZO” -3- © testi 2017: Vincenzo Ampolo, Francesco Aprile, Michele Brescia, Rossana Bucci, Cristiano Caggiula, Marilena Cataldini, Oronzo Liuzzi, Egidio Marullo, Antonio Negro, Francesco Pasca, Alberto Piccinni LA PAROLA INTERMEDIALE: UN ITINERARIO PUGLIESE La rivista di critica e linguaggi di ricerca www.utsanga.it, nata nel settembre 2014 con intenti a carattere storico-critico in quegli ambiti che vedono l’ibridazione, dal secondo Novecento ad oggi, della parola letteraria con i mass-media e le aree extra- letterarie in genere, propone, in collaborazione con la Biblioteca Gino Rizzo di Cavallino, attraverso una due giorni di incontri, la tavola rotonda dal titolo “La parola intermediale: un itinerario pugliese”. Scopo dell’iniziativa è tracciare un resoconto delle esperienze pugliesi che hanno avuto modo di muoversi, dagli anni ’60 ad oggi, negli ambiti di quei linguaggi liminali, ibridi, di derivazione poetica. Dalla poesia concreta alla poesia visiva, dalla mail art alla parola performativa, dalle scritture manuali all’asemic writing, dalla net.poetry al glitch: il contributo pugliese alle ricerche intermediali. Nei giorni 25 e 26 maggio, dalle ore 18:00 presso la Biblioteca Gino Rizzo, a Cavallino (Le) in via Amendola, le ricerche promosse dalla rivista www.utsanga.it incontrano l’impegno, la cura e la promozione che la Biblioteca Gino Rizzo dimostra da tempo in ambito culturale. Nasce un incontro che intreccia l’azione volitiva dell’impegno sul territorio alle ricerche a carattere storico-critico su quei linguaggi che del territorio pugliese sono traccia nel mondo.

  • Download Chance Operations by Sarah Tremlett As A
    Chance Operations1 A conference is born with mysterious ancestors Sarah Tremlett Whilst visiting Berlin five years ago I bought a copy of Fluxus In Germany – A Long Tale with Many Knots (my husband acerbically commented that we couldn’t have flown Ryan Air, then, as we usually only take hand luggage, and the publication in question is the size of a healthy, pregnant, spiral- bound file). The book has a thick, corrugated-plastic, transparent cover (the kind of material normally used for packing), which, like a fog obscuring headlights on a November night, partly conceals a dim inner glow of mustard and maroon sheets, pleasingly delivering a seemingly inexhaustible supply of stentorious text. From time to time I have lovingly opened it and gazed at the curious goings-on – absorbed the muddied cartwheels of genius flung up from various associations and happenings, captured forever within the pages. However, in some senses it has been a bit of a tomb-like tome – part art-collectible object; one of those works which sit and wait on the shelf, pausing; somehow or another it hadn’t yet revealed its full potential or purpose – what was this ‘tale’ doing on my shelf, after all? Over a year and a half ago, now, I happened to meet Lucy English at a poetry conference at Chichester University. We were both travelling back ‘on the train’ and, as normal for England on a Sunday, there weren’t any trains – not until somewhere in the middle of Wiltshire – so we spent a good deal of time on the bus together.

  • The Literariness of Media Art
    THE LITERARINESS OF MEDIA ART The beginning of the 20th century saw literary scholars from Russia positing a new definition for the nature of literature. Within the framework of Russian Formalism, the term ‘literariness’ was coined. The driving force behind this theoretical inquiry was the desire to identify literature— and art in general—as a way of revitalizing human perception, which had been numbed by the automatization of everyday life. The transformative power of ‘literariness’ is made manifest in many media artworks by renowned artists such as Chantal Akerman, Mona Hatoum, Gary Hill, Jenny Holzer, William Kentridge, Nalini Malani, Bruce Nauman, Martha Rosler, and Lawrence Weiner. The authors use literariness as a tool to analyze the aesthetics of spoken or written language within experimental film, video performance, moving image installations, and other media-based art forms. This volume uses as its foundation the Russian Formalist school of literary theory, with the goal of extending these theories to include contemporary concepts in film and media studies, such as Neoformalism, intermediality, remediation, and postdrama. Claudia Benthien is Professor for German Literature and Cultural Theory at the University of Hamburg, Germany. Jordis Lau is a PhD candidate at the University of Hamburg, Germany. Maraike M. Marxsen is a PhD candidate at the University of Hamburg, Germany. THE LITERARINESS OF MEDIA ART Claudia Benthien, Jordis Lau, and Maraike M.
